Almost 3000 homes across Sydney were plunged into darkness on the night of July 16, reported The Daily Telegraph (17/7/2007, p.12).
Suburbs in the dark: The blackouts happened because of separate electrical incidents in Paddington, Woollahra, Hunters Hill, Galston, Gladesville, Fairlight, St Leonards, Cammeray, Eastwood, North Sydney, Rockdale and Epping, an EnergyAustralia spokesperson said. North Sydney fared worst with 1600 homes blacked out.
